I like the idea... So what are you using for the indexing jig to record the position of the implant? Do you still need an analog? Do you use a temp abutment? Just wondering how you make an accurate indirect provisional (in this case composite) without going thru the whole process of taking an impression with coping/analog..
Thanks for the info!

Just because we index on the day of surgery does not mean that
we have to immediately load. Most of my provisionals go in 8 weeks
after placement. We order a new impression post and analog for
each implant we index. You obviously know the process seeing
to follow up thread. In certain situation, you may need temporary
abutment instead to index and can use it for the provisional itself
because the impression post might be too wide for the space.
If you think and angled abutment is needed, you can certainly
order an angled abutment before the surgery and make an abutment
level transfer and still have a provisional that is screw retained.
However, the soft tiss height might change and need a new angled
abutment after that. Just depends on inventory and how much
money you are willing to spend on the ideal result . . .

So here is the finished case. Emax Central #9 on Nobel Zirconia custom abutment. Im reluctant to post pics because I feel like I dropped the ball on picking up the orange/salmon translucency.. but the pt. started trashing the US during the final shade appointment, so I didnt spend much time with him.. :rolleyes:
Even then it looked alot closer than in the final picture.. but you learn and move on.. The Dr and Pt loved it. Tissue looks a bit irritated for all the care we took to preserve it, but the tissue was a bit higher than #8 due to trauma. Thanks for your help! Emaximplantcentral.jpg

Heck with tissue irritated. If I was there, I would be irritated!
When the patient loved it, perhaps you could have reminded him this was made in the US . . .
not digitally outsourced and FedEx back.

I was a bit irritated, but this was made in Switzerland not the US.


I would have to look the ingot up as it was a few months ago.. but I think a LT B1, over unstained zirconia abutment. Value was pretty good, but the hue was way off.. Had more orangish-pink that I didnt pick up even seeing him in person twice.. but the Macro hides nothing...
